Quote from: Lorenz (Tyson) on January 14, 2026, 09:50:34 AMHi guys, any news on this topic ? I would be very interested in a quotation cart - You really should take into consideration this point because so many B2B companies make the price of a product on the base of many other parameters, like if you need 5 item on spot or you want to buy 4000 pcz a year for the next 3 years... Abantecart is just amazing - I really like it, so well done, and it's so sad to turn off the page and skip this solution because there is no such an option. And as I said... B2B company would love to have a quotation cart - where I select products and quantities and the final result is request of quotation via e-mail. It's also much easier then going through a payment process...I completely agree with you. For B2B, a quotation cart makes much more sense than forcing customers through a normal checkout with fixed prices.
Can you advice, if it would be possible to modify the scripts to get this result ?
Thank you - I have already made a working website with quotation system in Joomla
but I am not very happy of the backend for managing the catalog and also the SEO performance are not great...
Thanks in advace to anyone commenting my post.
I think it should be possible to modify the current cart/checkout flow, but it would probably be better as a separate extension rather than changing the core files. The basic idea could be:
hide product prices for selected products or the whole store;
let customers add products and quantities to a quotation cart;
replace the checkout/payment button with "Request a Quote";
save the request in the admin area and send it by email;
allow the store owner to create a final quote and send it back to the customer.
The most important part would be reusing the existing cart logic, because the product selection and quantities are already handled there. Only the final checkout process would need to be replaced.
This would definitely be a useful feature for B2B stores, so I hope someone develops an extension for it. I would also be interested in using something like this.
